1.0 Introduction
This Report provides an overview of the Introductory Training Course on Cybercrime and
Electronic Evidence for PNG Judges conducted online via zoom on 8 and 9 June 2021. The
program targeting all Judges was initially planned for a face-to-face mode of delivery
however this was not possible due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Prior to the training, in September 2020, a desk study was conducted by Council of Europe’s
international experts on Papua New Guinea legislations. The legislations are Cybercrime
Code Act 2016, Criminal Code Act 1974 (including Criminal Code Amendment Act 2016),
Evidence Act 1975 (including Evidence (Amendment) Act 2016), Extradition Act 2005, and
Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters Act 2005. This was to assess the consistency and
level of alignment of the Papua New Guinea legislations with the Budapest Convention, and
to recommend on a possible way ahead towards Papua New Guinea’s accession to the
Budapest Convention. The Budapest Convention mandates parties to adopt certain legislative
standards with respect to cybercrime and electronic evidence with the aim of harmonizing
legislation to facilitate international cooperation between parties. The comparative analysis
with Budapest Convention formed part of the topics covered during the training.
Chief Justice Salika opened the training by welcoming the participants and lead facilitators
based in Europe. He thanked the GLACY+ Project of the European Union and Council of
Europe along with the PNG CJE for facilitating the online training for the Judges. He said
with the ever advancement of technology and particularly in the Covid-19 pandemic era there
was heavy dependence placed on use of computers and smart phones which could and would
lead to the threat and exposure to cybercrime. He told the participants that PNG Judiciary
had its share of the cyberattacks in 2019 when the Supreme and National Courts IT system
was held hostage by hackers who sought financial gain at the Judiciary’s expense. He said the
Judiciary was aware that it must always be alert and remain prepared to handle cyberattacks.
He stressed that it was timely that the PNG Judiciary was afforded the opportunity to become
more well-informed on Cybercrime and Electronic Evidence. Chief Justice gave an outline
of the four divisions in the PNG Cybercrime Code Act (No 35 of 2016) passed in 2016. He
said Cybercrime Code Act and the Criminal Code Act is tantamount to combatting
cybercrime in Papua New Guinea thus he looked forward to sharing in discussions with
colleagues and the facilitators as they engage in the important topic with a focus on
improving access to justice in Papua New Guinea.
The program was jointly funded by PNGCJE and Council of Europe. Certificates were
issued by Council of Europe to all participants after the training.
2.0 Program Objectives
The purpose of the training was to equip the Judges with basic judicial knowledge on
cybercrime and electronic evidence.
The objectives of the program were for the participants to gain basic knowledge of:
• cybercrime and electronic evidence
Page 4 of 29
• how judges can deal with them
• what substantive and procedural laws as well as technologies can be applied, and
• how urgent and efficient measures as well as extensive international co-operation can be
taken.
3.0 Facilitator and Participants
A total of 23 Judges attended the online course. Three female and 20 male Judges. Seventeen
of them were from the Provincial National Court locations and 6 from Waigani, Port
Moresby. Judges from the Provincial centers participated from their respective chambers.
About 4 judges in Waigani participated from the PNGCJE Training Facility whilst the other
two logged on from their chambers.
Two international experts were engaged by the Council of Europe to facilitate during the
course. They are Ms Hania Helweh (also a Judge) and Mr Pedro Verdelho. Judge Hania
Helweh did her presentation from Lebanon and Mr Verdelho from Portugal. Ms Catalina
Stroe, Project Manager, presented the session on GLACY + Project from Bucharest,
Romania.
For full details regarding participants and facilitators refer to Annex 1
4.0 Program Content and Method of Delivery
After formal opening and introductions on Day 1 – Tuesday 8 June, the presentations
commenced with the topic on GLACY + Project delivered by Ms Catalina Stroe, Project
Manager. This was followed with a Pre-survey and Question form by Pedro Verdelho and
Judge Hania Helweh. The other topics covered during the day are Internet basics for Judges
and Prosecutors, Core Concepts of Electronic Evidence and Introduction to Budapest
Convention (Introduction/ Definitions/Substantive Law – Part 1).
Day 2 - Wednesday 9 June 2021, commenced with continuation of the topic on Budapest
Convention (Procedural/International Cooperation) – Part 2. This was followed by
Cybercrime legislation (National legislation) – Comparative Analysis with Budapest
Convention. An Open discussion was held on how cybercrime/e-evidence investigation is
conducted in PNG. With this session, Detective Senior Constable Peter Gaso from the
Cybercrime Unit in NCD gave a brief overview on how cybercrime cases are investigated.
Each day’s sessions commenced at 9.00am and ended at 5.00pm, PNG time. In Bucharest,
Romania (Council of Europe office location) and Lebanon (where Judge Helweh was
presenting from), it was from 2.00am to 10.00am. For Pedro Verdelho in Portual, the timing
was from 1.00am to 09.00am.
The training was delivered online with power point presentations using the zoom meeting
platform. The zoom ‘chat’ feature was used by participants to respond to poll questions
posted by presenters towards the end of presentations. This was to check understanding and
Page 5 of 29
to clarify key contents of the sessions. The sessions were very interactive in general and the
participants were fully engaged in discussions since the content was quite new to the judges.
The Agenda is attached as Annex 2
5.0 Summary of Key Topics Covered
Cyber-dependant crime is any crime that can only be committed using computers, computer
network or other forms of information communication technology (ICT). In essence, without
the internet criminals could not commit these crimes.
There is no internationally accepted definition of electronic evidence. Given its unique
characteristics, electronic evidence could be defined as any information generated, stored or
transmitted in digital form that may later be needed to prove or disprove a fact disputed in
legal proceedings.
Electronic evidence is invisible to the untrained eye (only specialists would search in right
locations by means of special tools and can interpret it. It is highly volatile (can change
quickly and easily) and the evidence can be altered or destroyed through normal use. It can
be copied many times without limit.
The following should generally be taken into account when evaluating electronic evidence for
trial.
(a) Authenticity: the evidence must establish facts in a way that cannot be disputed
and is representative of its original state.
(b) Completeness: the analysis of or any opinion based on the evidence must tell the
whole story and not tailored to match a more favourable or desired perspective.
(c) Reliability: there must be nothing about the way in which the evidence was
collected and subsequently handled that may cast doubt on its authenticity or
veracity.
(d) Believability: the evidence must be persuasive as to the facts it represents and the
finders of fact in the court process must be able to rely on it as the truth.
(e) Proportionality: the methods used to gather the evidence must be fair and
proportionate to the interests of justice: the prejudice (i.e the level of intrusion or
coercion) caused to the rights of any party should not outweigh the “probative
value” of the evidence (i.e its value as proof).
Budapest Convention is the Council of Europe’s convention on cybercrime. It was opened
for signature on 23 November 2001 in Budapest and it is currently the only international
treaty on cybercrime and electronic evidence. It is open for accession by any State; so far 67
countries have ratified or acceded to the Convention. The Convention has impacted over 150
countries. Budapest Convention is the only legally binding mechanism for developing
countries to obtain electronic evidence from infrastructure-rich countries. It gives countries
the ability to directly or through the US government request expeditious preservation of data
by US service providers.
Page 6 of 29
The Budapest Convention provides for (1) Criminalising Conduct (Illegal access, Illegal
interception, Data interference, System interference, Misuse of devices, Fraud and forgery,
Child pornography, Intellectual Property Rights offences, Attempt, aiding & abetting,
Corporate liability; (2) Procedural Tools (Expedited preservation, disclosure of Traffic Data,
Search and seizure, Production order, Real time Traffic Data (RT TD), Interception of
computer data; and (3) International Cooperation (Extradition, Mutual Legal Assistance
(MLA), Spontaneous information, Expedited preservation, Expedited disclosure of TD, MLA
for access, Transborder access, MLA for RT TD, MLA for interception and 24/7 points of
contact.
The procedural powers under the Budapest Convention also apply to terrorism and human
trafficking offences if electronic evidence is involved.
The comparative analysis of PNG Cybercrime Act 2016 to the Budapest Convention revealed
that, with regards to the substantive provisions, most of the offences of the Budapest
Convention have been incorporated into the PNG Cybercrime Act 2016 with varying degrees
of consistency. On procedural provisions, PNG Cybercrime Act implements the procedural
provisions of the Budapest Convention. The provisions on international cooperation, with
respect to Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters Act 2005 and Extradition Act 2005, need
inclusion of some specific provisions.
6.0 Post-workshop Evaluation
At the conclusion of the program, workshop evaluation forms were distributed via email and
hand delivery to the 23 judges to rate their satisfaction regarding the quality and value of the
Training and to self-rate their understanding on the topics presented. Only 17 judges
submitted their completed evaluations.
The satisfaction rating across all aspects of the workshop was at 94.11% which reflects that
all judges/ participants were ‘extremely satisfied’ and ‘quite satisfied’ with the training.
The responses on each element of the training were rated as follows:
• Achievement of workshop aims and objectives: 11.76 % ‘fully achieved’ and
64.71% ‘substantially achieved’.
• Usefulness of information presented: 82.35% ‘extremely useful’ and 17.65%
‘quite useful”.
• Relevance and usefulness of materials provided by trainer: 70.59% ‘extremely
relevant’ and 29.41% ‘quite relevant’;
• Presentation, participation and effectiveness of trainer: 41.18% ‘extremely
effective’ and 58.82% ‘quite effective’.
17.65% of the participants felt ‘much more confident’ about the subject and 58.82% rated
themselves as ‘more confident’.
With the self-rated responses, 100% of Judges had ‘strong understanding’ and ‘good
understanding’ of Cybercrime Basics. 100% had ‘strong understanding’ and ‘good
understanding’ of Internet Basics for Judges and Prosecutors. 70.59% had ‘excellent
Page 7 of 29
understanding’ and ‘strong understanding’ on Core Concepts of Electronic Evidence and the
Budapest Convention.
Refer to Evaluation Responses attached as Annex 3 and Evaluation form as Annex 4.
7.0 Finance
The program was jointly funded by Council of Europe and PNGCJE. The activity budget
estimate was K217, 000 for a face-to-face delivery. However, since the mode of delivery was
changed to on-line (synchronize) the expense was reduced significantly. PNGCJE purchased
wifi/dongles and pre-paid Digicel flex cards for the provincial judges at a total cost of K24,
056. 00. The Council of Europe met the cost of catering (morning/afternoon tea and lunch)
provided by Stanley hotel.
Refer to Annex 5 for a copy of the Remittance Advice reflecting the payment.
8.0 Conclusion
The delivery of the Introductory Training Course on Cybercrime and Electronic Evidence for
PNG Judges program was a success given the high satisfaction rating of the entire workshop,
the increase in confidence level about the subject as well as the achievements of the learning
outcomes.

Annex 2 – Agenda
Version 10 May 2021
Activity 3.2.5: Introductory Training Course on Cybercrime and Electronic Evidence
for Judges (on-line)
Delivered under the GLACY+ project of the European Union and Council of Europe
Port Moresby, PAPUA NEW GUINEA
8-9 June 2021
Outline
Background and justification
Societies worldwide are increasingly reliant on information technologies, thus also becoming more exposed and vulnerable to cybercrime and cyber-enabled crimes. Targeting and illegal exploitation of computer systems have become common, and international crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic seem to provide ever new ways for cyber-criminals to conduct their illicit activities. In light of these challenges, governments and in particular criminal justice authorities need to strengthen their ability to investigate, prosecute and cooperate internationally on cybercrime, so as to ensure that the rights of individuals and societies in cyberspace are protected.
Hand in hand with these measures is the need to equip key actors in the criminal justice system with the skills and the knowledge to apply them. They need to know and understand the nature and evidential implications of cases of cybercrime as well as the available legal instruments and approaches to international cooperation. It is imperative for the judiciary and the magistracy to have enough knowledge to understand the implications of electronic evidence in order to fulfil their duties adequately as officers of the court. It is therefore assumed that enhancing the capacities of the Judiciary regarding cybercrime and electronic evidence can be a decisive factor in contributing to the rule of law, including the application of legislation as well as in engaging in international cooperation.
The Introductory Training Course on Cybercrime and Electronic Evidence is based on the training
materials developed by the Council of Europe and it has been designed to provide judges,
Page 16 of 29
magistrates and prosecutors with an introductory level of knowledge on cybercrime and electronic
evidence. The course includes legal as well as practical information about the subject matters and
concentrates on how these issues impact on the day-to-day work of judges, magistrates and
prosecutors.
The 2-days training course will be delivered in a shared and cooperative manner by two international Council of Europe experts, who will deliver this activity remotely, based on the training course materials adapted for on-line delivery.
Expected outcome Carried out under the joint project of the European Union and Council of Europe on Global Action on Cybercrime Extended (GLACY+), and in particular under Objective 3, Result 3.2, Activity 3.2.5: “Support the delivery of basic and advanced courses in priority countries also with participants from other countries”, the Introductory Training Course on Cybercrime and Electronic Evidence is expected to equip judges from Papua New Guinea with basic judicial knowledge on cybercrime and electronic evidence.
By the end of this 2-days course, the trainees will have basic knowledge of:
• cybercrime and electronic evidence
• how judges can deal with them
• what substantive and procedural laws as well as technologies can be applied, and
• how urgent and efficient measures as well as extensive international co-operation can be taken.
Participants
• aprox. 40 judges serving in Supreme/National Courts from Papua New Guinea
• 2 international experts selected by the Council of Europe, who will attend the meeting virtually
• GLACY+ Project Managers and staff who will attend the meeting virtually.
Location
The workshop will take place online via ZOOM platform. The link will be provided via e-mail to all participants.

Question 10: Briefly describe the most useful experience(s) of the training.
- I enjoyed the sessions presented by all the presenters but more particularly the judge from
Lebanon. Her presentation I was able to connect it to our own situations and circumstances.
- Discussions by Pedro on Tuesday 9 June, 2021 on the differences between Budapest
Convention and PNG legislation – Cybercrime Act.
- Technology and its use in collection and maintaining evidence integrity.
- The presentations by Pedro and Hania were very good.
- Interaction with the facilitators/ presenters, particularly Q & A.
- Understanding the concepts of electronic evidence, the Budapest Convention and relating it
to our Cyber Crime Act.
- The presentations by Pedro and Hania were especially interesting in that they not only knew
from their expert knowledge but most importantly from their own practical experience and
application of the conventions. The session on the internet was eye-opening especially on
the fact that no one uses internet hence the special challenge these brings upon law
enforcement and justice administration.
- I find the session on comparative analysis on PNG Cyber Crime Code Act 2016 and the
Budapest Convention most useful.
- Participating in questions and discussions
- Learnt a lot about Budapest convention on cybercrime. The differences in Data;
Information; Traffic; Content. The LMA and the need/ usefulness.
- I think the whole Training was most useful but not enough time.
- Having the benefit from listening and learning from Judge Henia Helweh and Mr Pedro
Verdelho
- Interaction among participants and the trainers, the trainers sharing of their experiences
and examples and the question and answer session after presentation of a topic/subject.
- The summary of the presentations.
- Attending a virtual conference by zoom.
- Method of obtaining presentation orders. Method of orders for production of materials
from service providers. Method of obtaining track of custody of information.
Question 11: Briefly describe the least useful experience(s) of the training.
- nil (x6)
- Electronic evidence, more probably because very little time was given on the topic.
- There is none. All were very useful.
- Losing connection towards end of Day 1 session.
- Perhaps the 2 day conference was not sufficient time for a lot more discussion.
- This was an eye opener for me and I found all segments of the Training very informative and
interesting. More so for the commitment and dedication of the international experts in Hania, Pedro
and other support officer who stayed up to help the PNG Judges in this training.
- Listening to facilitators and not knowing what is being taught as there were no materials available
to refer to.
- Many of the technical language and the different types and uses of electronic devices and their
respective applications.
- I don’t have any least useful experience. I enjoyed fully the knowledge and expertise of both
facilitators.
Page 23 of 29
- Internet connectivity and power fluctuation issues experienced at some stages of the 2 day training
for me.
- The short time to go through the lengthy material.
- The least useful is the participation by our very own investigators. Real need for capacity
development. Hopefully the Budapest Convention partners see our needs and would continue to
offer more substantive assistance.
Question 12: Do you wish to offer any comments or suggestions for improvements for this
training?
- Covid1-19 brings the learning and enabled learning by this mode. Hope covid can be eradicated
and people to people or in person training can resume.
- Thee should be more interactive discussions between participants with hypothetical cases given,
applying Budapest convention and the PNG Cybercrime, Evidence Act, Criminal Code, etc. Perhaps
more training over a period of time.
- What has happened is a step to keep up with technology. Materials offered at least the aims and
goals be disseminated distributed early so all are prepared to participate meaningfully.
- None (x4)
- Perhaps a longer conference next time.
- The training or rather the subject is quite technical and breaks into a relatively new area hence it
would be nice if the time could be extended to about 5 days.
-Save for the Digicel Dongle’s credits which were sent to us very late. Mine arrived very late so I
could not have it registered on time to go Zoom. I used my private modem to stay all throughout
the conference. Due to the nature of the conference, however much I would like to comment and or
contribute, I felt inhibited as I did not want to be seen as to domineering. Nevertheless, I am happy I
was able to contribute and learn as mush as I could during the Training. I feel very strongly that the
next Training MUST be on the DOHA DECLARATION. PNG Judges need to be assisted with their/our
responsibilities when it comes to Judicial Integrity and Ethics.
- Training in person would be most effective.
- Need more and extensive detailed training.
- This is a new area. Therefore the 2 days allocated is not enough in my view. More time required.
- I have no comments but to commend and thank both Judge Hania Helweh and Mr Pedro Verdelho
for assisting in improving my knowledge.
- Considering the international time difference in different countries, the trainers had to stay up late
in the night or early in the morning to speak on the topics covered in the training, future training
should consider the time differences and strike a balance.
- No. the trainers were excellent. Thank you to PNGCJE for organising this.
- I personally would have preferred a training first on the local or internal cyber crime, offences and
law, then bring in outside Jurisprudence for comparison and identifying areas lacking with our laws
to fill the gaps.
